• 1/4 C (1/2 stick) salted butter
• 1/4 C olive oil
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes
• 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
• salt & pepper

Directions

Cut up chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces (wash cutting board, utensils and hands, well, after handling chicken) In a lg, deep skillet over med-high heat melt 1/4 C (1/2 stick) butter, then add 1/4 C olive oil. Add chicken and cook until done (about 10-15 min). In a large crock pot (set to high temp) - combine all liquid ingredients w/seasonings and mix together. Then add cooked chicken to crock pot (along with all liquids from skillet). Add balance of ingredients & stir together well. Let crock pot cook for 4-6 hours, stirring frequently so mixture will not burn on bottom of pot. Mixture should be thick when done.

NOTES

Your Chicken a la Queen should be thick when done...

but will thicken further as it cools down. To thicken it more you can add more

flour or I use Wondra its thinner and doesn't clump to mixture towards end of 

cooking cycle. This is easy to make and you can't do other things while its 

crocking away in the 

crock pot LOL!!
